rolled banana with chocolate chips on them

Monkey Rolls

Monkey Rolls are playful, no-bake banana sushi bites that kids (and grown-ups!) will love. A whole banana is spread with creamy peanut butter, rolled in crushed peanuts for crunch, then sliced into sushi-style rounds and topped with chocolate chips. They’re the perfect mix of sweet, salty, soft, and crunchy—and a fun way to turn snack time into a creative adventure!

Nutritional Benefits

Bananas are rich in natural carbohydrates for quick energy, plus they’re packed with potassium, which supports heart health and muscle function. They also provide fiber, which helps with digestion and keeps kids feeling satisfied.

Peanut butter is loaded with plant-based protein and healthy fats, which are essential for growth, brain development, and keeping energy levels steady. It also contains important nutrients like vitamin E, magnesium, and B vitamins.

Tasty Pairings for Your Monkey Rolls

Pairing your Monkey Roll with a smoothie or fresh fruit makes snack time more balanced and satisfying. While the roll provides healthy carbs, protein, and fats, the smoothie or fruit adds hydration, fiber, and essential vitamins. Together, they create a nutrient-rich combo that boosts energy, keeps kids full, and tastes like a fun treat!
